Mark, you didn't read the page properly. It states that safety at day is higher than safety at night (as expected). The page states that most people who did a survey feel quite unsafe at night.

It's odd that ppl feel safer at night than day, according to this. Need a less subjective measure. Actual analysis from University or City. Same thoughts for crime rates also too subjective highly skewed by small unknown sample.

Oh, look, the results of a survey of 28 self-selected individuals (representing a negligible 0.02% of the population) about their entirely subjective perceptions of crime. And given that all available facts point to crime *decreasing* over the last three years, when these 28 self-selected individuals rate its increase as "high", they're ignorant, too.

Pathetic sample size, self-selected sample, entirely subjective reporting, no demographic information on respondents, no statistical analysis of data, no indication that reliable statistical data on all this information even exists let alone a comparison to it. I've seen Grade 10 science fairs with better survey data. What's the point of this, exactly?

@ Steven

You argue that just because Rape gets reported more in one college than it does everywhere else in the city basically debunks this poll.

You said "If Kelowna is such a crime haven (versus other cities), where is it?" Well according to your conclusion, "Its not being reported". That doesnt mean its not happening. Im sure like anywhere there are hotspots for crime and so you may not be living near those spots.

my point is, just because someone doesnt report something, or a school has a better policy for reporting and are more strict, doesnt mean the crimes do not exists.

I have seen many studies done on Kelowna and they all seem to say the same thing. Although the crime dropped just enough since 2013 to take Kelowna out of the top spot in Canada, its still quite far up in the list.

I do believe the Province should be sending more police and a gang task force up there if they want to tackle this problem. Maybe they need more education on crime in the schools. Start on these future criminals in the schools. I dont believe there is only one action that would make the difference. I believe there are many that would significantly make a change.

This is nowhere near accurate because only 20 people have put in their thoughts, might be more believable when a lot more people have put their thoughts in cause 20 isn't a lot out of a population of over 100k when it has at least 1k then it would be kind of believable

It is true that it was REPORTED that we have the highest crime rate... but give me a break. Statistics like those are stupid. All that potentially means is that we are better at reporting crimes. There was a similar "statistic" regarding campus rape a few years ago and one school got targeted as having "the most rapes" but the report was quickly lambasted as being statistically misleading because that school had a comprehensive program for reporting rape along with a zero tolerance. The fact is, that school likely had a much lower instance of campus rape, but did a much better job of encouraging victims to report.

If Kelowna is such a crime haven (versus other cities), where is it? In my daily life, I don't EVER feel unsafe in any way due to crime. Getting hit by a car (because there are so few sidewalks in many areas) is a far bigger safety concern for me.
